I knew this was kind of a controversial post to make, but that's why I did it. I do feel strongly about this, but I know there are a lot of people who disagree with me.<br /><br />I agree on djent though, I pretty much hate it.Metallattorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697604772912635416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732641400554420338.post-80128106650909877212011-08-25T10:06:48.414-05:002011-08-25T10:06:48.414-05:00First off: I like the new color scheme.

I like this album well enough, but as you are already aware I love the direction Meshuggah has gone. Really, really love it, although I hate just about everybody who tries to ape it (i.e. anything labeled "djent"). Yes, their new sound is inhuman--but it's like some kind of insanely intricate steam-powered mechanical device that looks like it's going to fly apart at any moment. The people who ape them sound more like tame computers. And Meshuggah absolutely reproduces their sound live (from what live recordings I've heard), which almost beggars belief.<br /><br />So, I put them in the same category as Suffocation: they're in my personal top 10, and many people try to copy them but nobody comes even close.Full Metal Attorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818204892818121018noreply@blogger.com
